Tunisia, officially the Tunisian Republic, is a country situated on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. It is the northernmost African country and the smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range. Around 40 percent of the country is composed of the Sahara desert, with much of the remainder consisting of particularly fertile soil, and a 1300-km coastline. Both played a prominent role in ancient times, first with the famous Phoenician city of Carthage, and later, as the Africa Province, which became known as the bread basket of the Roman Empire.

It is thought that the name Tunis (Arabic for both the nation and capital city) originated from Berber, meaning either a geographical promontory, or, "to spend the night."

it is in Africa :) Tunisa is located in northern Africa. Republic of Tunisia is the smallest country in Africa. It located at the northern end of Africa. The capital of Tunisia is Tunis. It is a member of A.M. Union, Arab League and African Union.

The answer should be Yes. Tunisia is well known for being peaceful and empty of social and national troubles. First, Tunisia and the other countries. Tunisia have been internationnaly known of its friendly relationships to all foreign countries as well as Arab ones, and it is always neutral in its p…olitical positions. Second, Religiously speaking the majority of Tunisians are Muslims "Sunnah" and very centrists. there are Christian communities as well as Jew ones and there are mosques , Churches and senagogs. There are no by any means fanatics is Tunisia, because the gouvenment and laws prohibit fanatism and even the "sunnah" prohibits it. Third, Tunisia and foreigners. Any one who comes to Tunisia will be very astonished by the homey and humble behaviour of Tunisians towards him. I personally as a Tunisian cannot deny that some of the youth here are stalcking to tourists so that they can go outside Tunisia... that's another subject, but what is important is that Tunisias are not harmful. Fourth, the system. there is always security in Tunisia wherever you go. you'll find police man who are well partitionned to take care of parazites and problems though problems are not very common. the polica and civil protection in Tunisia are very important for the gouvernment and well applied in real life. Now back to the international level; Tunisia is in a good relationship with the European community and the USA, many exchanges are occurring even for students and brains :) Now some shortcomings. As it is the case in any country there are some regions that are full of bad people and unstable life and they are always treated by the gouvernment but they can't be totally neutralised. I'm a Tunisian from the capital and I'll include a list of really bad cities, watch out from people who live there, i should not generalize but the majority is dangerous, they are : Assaida Ettadhamon (solidarity city) Raoued El Mallassine some areas of Ariana like Lebhar lazreg I just included them for they are well known of their unsecure environment but there is always gouvernment and police care.Thank you. if you want more clarification contact me through my profile here in Wiki.answers.com (MORE)

The BIGGEST Problem.
A major problem throughout Tunisia is desertification. Poor farming techniques, such as overgrazing, along with deforestation, soil erosion, and a limited supply of natural sources of freshwater are all contributing to the problem of desertification..
Humans Impact on Natural… Resources.
There is a ton of air pollution and water pollution due to ineffective disposal of toxic and hazardous materials in water.

Tunisia is a LEDC because of several reasons. I'll state some of them. First, the independence and the economic loss. Tunisia have got it's independence on 20 March 1956 from France. When the French left Tunisia, it was in a mess, the problems were mainly 3 : poverty, illiteracy, unemployment. All t…he Tunisian fundings at that time were mainly concentrated on Education under the doctrine of Habib Borgiba, and the Education Minister El Messadi. then the rest of the incomes was headed to the employment through improving the country's infra_structure by building roads and industries, all that was also sponsored by some French who still live in Tunisia. Poverty then was treated through employment. Untill now Tunisia have produced 3 generations of well educated people who are now working in almost every field, however economy in Tunisia is still weak because the main source is Tourism and second exportation of agricultural goods. These two realms are not well predictable ones, not like controlled industry, so Tunisia is still waiting for the last educated generation to make it better through many specialized people in industrial techniques and technologies. You can concider that the main Tunisian investment was not Industry, yet it was Education for that Tunisia is a LECD but with a honorific average of 100% educated people between 06 and 16 years old and almost 3 millions students engaged in higher education and post graduate one, knowing that education is cumpolsory and absolutely free in Tunisia. Thank you. (MORE)

Answer After gaining independence from France in 1956, President Habib Bourguiba established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women that were unmatched by any other Arab nation. In recent years, Tunisia ha…s taken a moderate, non-aligned stance in its foreign relations. Tunisia has a diverse economy, with important agricultural, mining, energy, tourism, and manufacturing sectors. Government control of economic affairs, while still heavy, has gradually lessened over the past decade. Progressive social policies also have helped raise living conditions in Tunisia. Just over 10 million people live in Tunisia. Life expectancy is around 75 years. The spoken language is Arabic, but the language of commerce is French. Tunisia was a big part of the battles in the Mediterranean area between the Allies and the Axis, most famous battles the Battle of The Kasserine Pass. Tunisia is also home to the ancient city of Carthage. Tunisia is a francophone place:) (MORE)

Tunisia, with the mountain ranges, the coastline and the Sahara desert with much of the remainder consisting of fertile soil was known as the "bread basket" of the Roman empire. Later, Tunisia was occupied by Vandals during the 5th century AD, Byzantines in the 6th century, and Arabs in the 8th cent…ury. Under the Ottoman Empire, Tunisia was known as "Regency of Tunis".
